Krafft's Anomaly Notes

Chapter 250 Experiment
This was an era when knowledge was extremely valuable, and the church was not yet generous enough to allow outsiders to enter its library and browse at will, so the task of searching for documents was still left to Father Green.

Until the professor left, the priest had just opened the first few pages of the long-lost heraldry book, previewing the basic combination rules of patterns in preparation for reading the original document.It's still a few nights and a finger's hairline away from practical application.

As for the matter of translating the genealogy of the eighteen generations of the king's ancestors as required, that is even further away.For the sake of confidentiality, this can only be done by him.

However, after all, Green was an outstanding graduate from a church school. Kraft was optimistic about his learning ability and believed that he would be able to make satisfactory progress before completing his pre-experiment.

Yes, pre-experimentation.

The absence of ideal conditions does not mean that there will be nothing to do. It is completely feasible to carry out some exploratory experiments on a small scale.

Of course, it cannot be done in a clinic.Downstairs is the outpatient clinic and ward, and next door is the kitchen and dining room. There is not even a reliable basement. Kraft would be crazy to try dangerous operations in such a place.

There must be a relatively safe and solid place where no one can disturb you.

It was really hard to find. The professor hesitated all the way and suddenly remembered what the title was after his name - he immediately rushed back to the university to find a laboratory.

In view of the fact that the trial court came around from time to time and seriously disturbed the normal order of the medical school, everyone moved away the objects suspected of violating regulations.

After this move, there will be nothing left.The area near the laboratory on the upper floor of the main building was deserted, and the mice shook their heads after looking at it.

And someone in a different situation discovered this blind spot.

"No, I don't involve human experiments at all. I just do some research related to changes in physical properties." This is how he explained to the person in charge. Anyway, that is the fact. "Don't worry about the trial court inspection."

——Just come here to inspect the work progress of your accomplices.

Kraft took Coop and moved a bunch of his things into the newly assigned site, which was one of the largest spaces except the burned-out dome hall.

Yvonne insisted on following, and took over the task of carrying a box of heavy utensils. As expected, when taking it out, she was nervous and used too much force, accidentally crushing two of them.Due to technological limitations, glassware that is not that thin is no different from a breakfast egg in her hands.

Since she already looked depressed, Kraft wisely took off the original price and persuaded her not to worry about the little things.

Even though she successfully completed the task of relocating the table, the girl could not get rid of the dark cloud. A sense of frustration of "I didn't accomplish anything" accompanied her when she went back to read.

"Perhaps Yvonne should be kept away from these things for a while. After all, her situation is quite special." Coop advised.He knew part of Yvonne's condition, at least the obvious changes.

Kraft watched Yvonne go downstairs and get on the carriage back to the clinic. He turned around and moved a table back to its original position, "No, the more times like this, the more important it is to give her something to do, even if the thing itself is meaningless. "

"Give her the confidence that 'I'm doing great,' rather than the pressure to pursue short-term results, which can push people in directions we don't want to see."

"Besides, Yvonne is indeed very good. At this age, I was still trying to skip class to catch birds in the woods, but she already has a strong sense of planning for the future."

"Have you skipped class?" Something important was accidentally leaked.

"It has never been successful. After all, my teacher only teaches two people." No one can disappear without a trace on Old Wood's territory. The consequences of being caught are usually the traditional education methods.

"It's better to start quickly. As the saying goes, start early, finish early, and eat early."

Kraft stuck his head out of the window and made sure that there was no vantage point around him from which he could observe. He half-closed the window and arranged various utensils on the table.The most important experimental materials were locked in an iron box, stuffed with cotton, and a small, transparent, wax-sealed glass bottle was kept in the center.

The crystal granular material rubbed and rolled in the bottle, making a small sound like a horned viper swimming in the desert, like a whispering jar of black salt.

Kraft gently shook the bottle to flatten the surface. After comparing it with the height line carved on the bottle, he picked out the larger one with tweezers and put it into a large round-bottomed flask.

He first tried to use a water bath to slowly raise the temperature, until the water in the tank boiled and the crystal did not change much, completely ruling out the possibility of melting caused by the temperature of the animal's body temperature.

When heated by a candle flame, the subject remained unmoved, as if it were a real grain of sand or salt, but dyed an extremely pure black color, making it look as if a needle had poked a hole in the space. .

Then, various solvents, including pure water, acid, lye, and oil were used in turn, but none of them worked.It's also expected. If it can be dissolved so easily, there is no need to convert it into a liquid.

The physical and chemical properties of black salt are quite stable, and it is a die-hard salt that is suitable to be classified as "impurities".

This is a good thing, because it means that if it leaks into nature, it will settle down rather than liquefying and being circulated everywhere.

"We have to go one step further." It seemed to be the lubricating effect of the liquid. Kraft pinched it twice before pulling it out of the oil. "Then we need to simulate the contact between it and living things."

"Are you going to feed it to that rabbit?"

The rabbit was prepared from the kitchen, one of the chef's trophies at the market this morning.When he learned that experimental animals were needed, Coop's favor gave him an extra period of life, but now it seems that this luck has run out.

"Not that fast, and I don't want to look for a grain of black sand in its digestive tract afterwards, so I'd better take the blood first."

The professor skillfully pricked a drop of blood at the end of the rabbit's ear, scraped it away with a glass piece, and dropped it on the black particles to observe.The animals, who still don't know that their end is approaching, focus on enjoying the welfare leaves and only make a grunting sound when the skin is broken.

Under the close gaze of two pairs of eyes, the red droplets gradually dried and solidified at room temperature, forming a thin film covering the surface of the crystal particles. Nothing happened.

Kraft blinked, letting his tears moisten his dry sclera.

Unfortunately, the rabbit's ears were injured again, and a second blood contribution was made to prove the ineffectiveness.The results were clear, the sample showed no significant reaction to the blood.

The inconspicuous gurgling sound of gastrointestinal peristalsis reminded him of the passage of time. It came from Kupu. The latter embarrassedly held his stomach and said not to care about this little accident, but it was an indisputable fact that meal time was gradually approaching.

"Well, today's attempt is over. The lack of changes is also a result, proving that we don't have to worry too much about it."

Reaching out with the tweezers again, Kraft prepared to clamp the crystal into a separate test tube and store it until he could handle it tomorrow.

But the particle slipped from between the temporal teeth, fell back onto the glass sheet, rolled around a few times, and almost fell into the gap between the wooden boards on the table. Fortunately, the experimenter's good reflexes stopped it.

Kraft tried again, and his dexterous hands finally noticed the increase in difficulty.

He set up two surgical mirrors, reflected sunlight onto the crystal, and observed it more carefully. The clear edges and corners of the crystal seemed to have been slightly blunted unconsciously during condensation.

"When?"
